My work takes many forms; drawings, paintings, web pages, photographs, video, written words, but are often achromatic. It explores and defines two sides of myself, which I describe as man and male. Although there are noticeable crossovers in these two areas, the work can still be separated, thus displaying the struggle within; of man and male. The human (man) side of me looks at my emotions for inspiration and creates work about the human condition, mainly exploring male/female relationships and emotions from my point of view (as a man/male). This work provides a means of voicing feelings and gives something people can learn from or relate to and take something away from, be it comfort or anger.
The masculine (male) side strives to create the perfect aesthetic experience though what I feel are masculine processes, techniques and materials, with less emphasis on 'meaning'.
